BTW, you play scrabble? It one of the only board games I like myself...Wish anyone in my family would play

Caskett are playing Scrabble, so they claim. He has 312 or 314, something like that. She has 172. She plays quixotic in the top right corner, with 8 point X on the doubled letter score, plus both Q and C on triple word scores, and gets the 50 point bonus for using all her letters.

He only gives her enough points to attain 314 or 316, IIRC. That is only 142 or 144 points.

8 (X) x2 = 16. 10 (Q) + 3 (C) = 13. 16 + 13 + 5 = 34. 34 x 3 (Q) = 102. 102 x 3 (C) = 306.
306 + 50 = 356.
172 + 356 = 528.

Are Castle scriptwriters illiterate Collegegium Gradutamates who cannot add? They even had a Scrabble board right there to refer to. Is this a repetitive thing, not being able to add in the show?
